Midnight awaken
Warm room sudden chill descend
Cold breath ear caress

I Wrote A Book of Poems
Hello All! I am coming back to the Vocal Community with exciting news. I formerly had an account under the name Hufflecup. I know I had a few regular readers of my poems. I stepped away from this website to work on getting my poems published and IT WORKED!

Now this is a Haiku.
Love it! Super creepy 🖤
Creepy! I had to read it twice. I was about to ask you what an "ear carcass" is! 😂 So glad I read that right the second time! 💜
Well-wrought! That moment between dream and waking, did the voice come from my mind... or the room?
😳☠️
Nicely executed, Ray! I felt the unease.
Such an eerie little snapshot in just three lines. I can almost feel the chill.
This haiku captures a chilling moment with minimalist precision. The contrast between warmth and sudden cold perfectly evokes that eerie, half-awake feeling.
I will just die if that happens to me, lol. Loved this!
I hope it’s not a ghost. Great haiku, Raymond!
